Orders are what an online store is about. Customers submit orders at checkout after adding at least one product to cart. Administrators can work with the submitted orders and add new orders themselves.
To get a list of orders, send a GET request to /api/orders/
:
GET /api/orders/
This request returns 10 orders with a short list of details for each order.
Add these parameters to the path to specify which orders will be returned in the response and how they will be organized:
Parameter | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|
page | 1 | The response to GET /api/orders/ is a page with a limited number of orders. This parameter determines the number of the page that will be sent in the response. |
items_per_page | 10 | Determines the number of orders on a page. |
sort_by | date |
Determines the parameter by which the orders are sorted in the response. |
sort_order | desc |
Determines the sorting order:
asc —ascendingdesc —descending |
status |
Searches only for the orders with the specified status. Status names and functions are configured by store owners and may vary from store to store.
These default order statuses can be edited, but can’t be deleted:
A —in processP —paidC —completeO —openF —failedD —declinedB —backorderedI —cancelledY —Waiting for callH —ready for take-out in 10 minutesG —ready for take-out in 15 minutesK —PickedUpL —On the way |
|
user_id | Searches only for the orders placed by the customer with the specified ID. | |
company_id | Searches only for the orders placed on the specific vendor. | |
Searches only for the orders placed by the customer with the specified email. | ||
invoice_id | Searches only for the orders with the specified invoice ID. | |
credit_memo_id | Searches only for the orders with the specified credit memo ID. | |
updated_at_from updated_at_to | Searches only for the orders last modified during the specified date period. |
Examples:
GET /api/orders/?page=5&items_per_page=5&status=C
Response is an array with 5 orders from the 5th page of the list of complete orders.
GET /api/orders/?email=customer@example.com&company_id=2
Response is an array with 10 orders placed by the customer with the specified email with the vendor with company_id=2
.
Let’s make a test request:
GET /api/orders/?items_per_page=2
If the request is successful, you’ll receive HTTP/1.1 200 OK. The response is JSON with the following data:
{
"orders": [

"order_id": "97",
"issuer_id": null,
"user_id": "3",

Important
A newly-created order will always have "status": "O"
. You can change it only when you update an order.
Pass the following fields with order details in the HTTP request body in accordance with the Content-Type
. Required fields are marked with *:
user_id*—the unique identifier of the user. Can be omitted or set to 0 only if the request includes user_data
.
payment_id*—ID of the payment method. The payment method must be available in the store.
shipping_id*—ID of the shipping method. The shipping method must be available in the store and configured to calculate the cost of shipping to the address you pass in the request.
Beginning with version 4.3.7, you can specify an array of shipping method IDs as the value of shipping_id
. The keys of the array would be the keys of the product groups in the cart.
This comes useful when you create an order with the products from multiple vendors (in Multi-Vendor), or from multiple suppliers, or whenever else the products in the cart are separated into groups.
products*—an object (associative array) with the information about the ordered products. There are two ways how you can specify a product:
Way 1: Product IDs serve as the keys, and the values are product details:
"products": {
"241": {
"amount": "1",
"product_options": {
"12": "44",
"13": "48"
}
}
}
Important
If you want your order to have multiple instances of the same product, but with different selected options and option combination, don’t use product IDs as keys; use Way 2 instead.
Way 2: Keys are random numbers, and product IDs are included in the values among other product details:
"products": {
"1": {
"product_id": "12",
"amount": "1",
"product_options": {
"3": "12",
"4": "17"
}
},
"2": {
"product_id": "12",
"amount": "2",
"product_options": {
"3": "15",
"4": "19"
}
}
}
Note
Product price is taken from the product settings, not from the JSON data. A discount
on product can’t be specified in the POST request, but only in the PUT request.
user_data—an object (associative array) with the customer’s data. If you specify a user_id
other than 0, this parameter won’t be considered and can be omitted. If user_id
is omitted or set to 0, user_data
is required:
"user_data": {
"email": "email@example.com",
"b_firstname": "John",
"b_lastname": "Doe",
"b_address": "44 Main street",
"b_city": "Boston",
"b_state": "MA",
"b_country": "US",
"b_zipcode": "02134",
"b_phone": "",
"s_firstname": "John",
"s_lastname": "Doe",
"s_address": "44 Main street",
"s_city": "Boston",
"s_state": "MA",
"s_country": "US",
"s_zipcode": "02134",
"s_phone": ""
}
Note
You can view the available country and state codes in the Administration panel of your store under Administration → Shipping & Taxes → States.

Required fields: user_id
, payment_id
, shipping_id
, products
Example JSON:
{
"user_id": "3",
"shipping_id": "1",
"payment_id": "2",
"products": {
"1": {
"product_id": "12",
"amount": "1"
},
"2": {
"product_id": "13",
"amount":"2"
}
}
}
This request places an order with the following properties:
user_id=3
.shipping_id=1
was chosen.payment_id=2
was chosen.product_id=12
and two products with product_id=13
were ordered.{
"user_id": "3",

Required fields: user_data
, payment_id
, shipping_id
, products
Example JSON:
{
"user_id": "0",
"payment_id": "2",
"shipping_id": "1",
"products": {
"1": {
"product_id": "12",
"amount": "1"
},
"2": {
"product_id":"13",

}
},
"user_data": {
"email":"guest@example.com",
"firstname": "Guest",
"lastname": "Guest",
"s_firstname": "Guest",
"s_lastname": "Guest",
"s_country": "US",
"s_city": "Boston",
"s_state": "MA",
"s_zipcode": "02125",
"s_address": "44 Main street",
"b_firstname": "Guest",
"b_lastname": "Guest",
"b_country":"US",
"b_city": "Boston",
"b_state": "MA",
"b_zipcode":"02125",
"b_address": "44 Main street"
}
}
This request is similar to the previous example, but the order is placed on behalf of a guest with the specified contact details.
Note
Guests specify their address and contact information at checkout. That’s why you must pass the user_data
object in the JSON when you place an order on behalf a guest.
The order has been created successfully: HTTP/1.1 201 Created and the order ID:
{
"order_id": "98"
}
The order couldn’t be created: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request.
To update an existing order, send the PUT request to /api/orders/<order_id>/
. For example:
PUT /api/orders/98
Pass the fields with order details in the HTTP request body in accordance with the passed Content-Type
. None of the fields are required.
By default, when you change the order status via REST API, no email notifications are sent. However, you can use additional fields when updating an order, with 0 or 1 as values:
notify_user—this flag determines whether or not to send the notification to the customer.
notify_department—this flag determines whether or not to send the notification to the order department.
notify_vendor—this flag determines whether or not to send the notification to the vendor.
Note
The notify_vendor flag is available only in Multi-Vendor.
{
"status": "P",
"notify_user": "1",
"notify_department": "1",
"notify_vendor": "1"
}
This request sets the status of the order to P
(Processed by default) and sends email notifications to the customer, the vendor, and the order department.
{
"products": {
"1": {
"product_id": "12",
"amount": "1"
},
"3": {
"product_id": "241",
"amount": "1",
"product_options": {
"12": "44",
"13": "48"
}
}
}
}
This request changes the products assigned to the order. When we created order 98, it had one product with product_id=12
and two products with product_id=13
. After this request the order will have one product with product_id=12
, and one product with product_id=241
.
As you can see, product 241 also has the option variants selected:
Note
If an order has multiple products, make sure to specify them all when you update the products
object with the PUT request. Products that are not specified in the PUT request will be removed from the order. The same applies to product option variants.
{
"total": "100"
"user_data": {
"email": "customer@example.com",
"b_firstname": "John",
"b_lastname": "Doe",
"s_firstname": "John",
"s_lastname": "Doe"
}
}
This request:
Note
This won’t change the name or email of the user—only the name and email on the order page will change.
Note
If you try to specify the total
and other parameters that can affect it (like discount
or subtotal_discount
) in the JSON at the same time, then total
will always take priority. You can specify total
, but not subtotal
in the JSON.
The order has been updated successfully: HTTP/1.1 200 OK and the order ID:
{
"order_id": "98"
}
The order couldn’t be updated: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request.
The order doesn’t exist: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found.
To delete an order, send the DELETE request to /api/orders/<order_id>/
. For example:
DELETE /api/orders/98/
This request will delete an order with order_id=98
.
